psychiatric

A hospital you never ever want to be admitted to. We all have that one wacko job for a relative or friend. Multiply that by like 300 and stick them all in a tiny room painted baby blue and make them talk about the issues they have and watch them go. It's like playing a game of stick the yellow shapes in the right spots and wait for the red box to explode and blow pieces everywhere. If you live near one I suggest you move because the crazy ass-holes break out the glass and run free. Then it is like playing a game of "Where's Weirdo". I worked at one and I will say that I could not wait to get to work. There was never a dull moment. If you love caos and mayhem you really should consider a career at the nut house.

Working at a psychiatric hospital is like having a year long pass to the freak show.

psychiatric vacation

A popular practice in prison when a convict reaches a level of boredom or emptiness so severe that he or she embarks upon a plan to go โ€œplaycrazyโ€ in order to get some sightseeing done and a temporary change in housing and usually much better meals in what may be an ingenious process of self-care.

I knew that Iโ€™d be seen as manipulative if I followed through with my prison savvy plan to take a psychiatric vacation but I was willing to suffer the blowback because quite frankly, my emotional needs are more important than my reputation at this point in my life.

psychiatric nurse

Nurses how are trained to ask the right questions at the right time. With the right questions they bring people to belief important things about them they didnโ€™t know before. Psychiatric nurses make "inceptions", like in the movie Inception. They are able to handle badass aggression from patients and are able to deal with devastating life stories. They are often overwhelmed by usual hospital equipment but their communication skills are super impressive.
Sweets and coffee are truly important to survive.

Wow, this patient just shouted at this nurse and she just remained calm- that must be a psychiatric nurse.
